DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS - ChinaJoy Gameplay Presentation #2: Basic Gameflow

[@Lance707]

Yeah this looks great. They're taking a lot of steps in the right direction! Finally looks like a battlefield again

[@Saintphoenix86]

What do you mean again, ive been playing since DW2 and this is the first time they have really looked like a battlefield, the limitations of the hardware have always held it back from really feeling like a battlefield from this era

[@rahmellbrown162]

Facts like all the steps in the right direction. Looks really good and reminds me of the siege parts in Shadow of War

[@Lance707]

@@Saintphoenix86 Well you're not wrong. I just mean in the sense that in the older games, you would often move up with the AI to fight the enemy (for different reasons than Origins though - through difficulty or hardware limitations). PS3 era and later just felt like it was only you on the battlefield against the entire army. Just felt soulless to me, if that makes sense?

[@GoogleAccount-pt4zu]

As a Dynasty Warriors veteran who has the entire collection of the series and started playing way back in 2001 with DW3 as my first game these remixes of the oldschool tracks are such a nostalgic kick to the face, the game looks exhilirating, the AI is actually a threat now similar to the PS2 era games, that in-game battle cinematic of you charging into battle with your allies looks so epic, KT is definetly on the way up and this is the best apology they have given the fans since the downfall that was DW9. This is truly the first AAA Dynasty Warriors title on par with the likes of Wo Long, Ni Oh and Rise of the Ronin.

@@zoot4358 DW1 isn’t really considered part of the series, even Koei doesn’t mention it as part of their 20th anniversary video for the DW series, they consider DW2 as the beginning, I’m guessing you already know this but in Japan it only called “Sangoku Musou” while from DW2 onwards they’re titled “Shin Sangoku Musou” which is why each main entry is a number behind the western releases.

We do not want a watered down version of DW, we want the gameplay we love 1vs 1000 was always DW's thing, changing that is like changing the soul of the game. PS: I will not stop saying this, this better have a Free Mode where you can play as other characters.

[@Soledmaria]

Yes, we don't need it to be like Dark Souls, but I personally want more tactics, like you have options to advance the battlefield on higher difficulty. That would raise the bar even higher for the series, and it would be the core for future installments. What we have seen is so promising, it's actually a bit worrying.

[@kotonggaming]

Nice! It give the feels of Yasuhisa Hara's "Kingdom"..

[@arlynanderson4801]

They take quiet some cues from DW4 in terms of presentation, mainly ost remixes and as for the combat, they certainly are not going back to the old ways of a>b/a>a>b combo mash anymore, they still use the DW9 style of combat of simplied inputs (mobile game style) with stun, knockdown, launcher, EX mapped to a single button are returning with the qte "finisher" also present... Still, there's a lot to unpack... but i don't have time to say my pieces... hope this game will work and be a lot more better after how much critisism you got from DW9's mess. I remain skeptical... there's a lot of reused assets from DW9, but hey, being resourceful is sorta a good thing and some characters getting the "aging" treatment with small redesign like Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei in that video... but i doubt they would do that to every characters if every cast of characters from DW9 would make their return

[@DesertRainReads]

Goddamn, they remixed "Wall of Fate" and it sounds awesome. They are taking tons of cues by mixing the best elements of DW8 and DW9 along with some awesome touches like having your allies charge into battle with you too. Not to mention, enemy soldiers are gonna be a threat. I'm definitely sold. Looking forward to this.

[@WafflesFourEver]

Im amazed by the new game engine and the graphical improvement. This game will benefit alot from ray tracing as its now more accessible and popular. The addition of the characters aging throughout the story will feel a lot more grounded narratively speaking. However, I always felt the time between and during battles are poorly portrayed because its a game adaptation trying to rush the story. I believe the series will benefit from a longer emphases on the longevity of battles and the story in general. For instance, from my understanding Cao Cao's campaign on the Northern territories wasn't just the Battle of Guan Du. That was only the beginning. There were multiple battles from multiple frontiers. Cao Cao wasn't there to witness every battlefield. It was near a ten year campaign. Why not portray the heavy toll it was to financially keep a campaign going on for ten years and Cao Cao's physical traits and personality change during that time frame. That will make me very invested in the story and keep me grounded to how long the 3 kingdom period was. Some characters just shouldn't even be alive in the later stages on the 3 kindoms do to old age. How about introducing the so called "shu kids" like Guan Ping or Liu Shan like they always do but show they age up to be very old near the end of the story. They shouldn't always look like they are in there mid 20s. I know thats alot to ask and too much time and money to invest for a single player game so I'll change the subject to what i really wish this franchise will head towards. I only wish they would go back to the 1 vs 100 format like in the earlier games like 3,4, and 5 (going by American releases). In the past 3 installments of the series the format has been 1 v 1000. Its an acrade hack and slash that has very flashy movesets and fast paced combos. I'll be honest. It hasn't been fun for me. All the risk that used to be in the earlier games is gone. Battles just feel one sided and too scripted. I used to have to time my combos correctly or be aware of my surroundings of enemy troops while fighting enemy officers because they could easily stagger me. Now i just spam my move sets without a care and dont get punished because the enemies are to passive with the occasional musou attack that is not even a problem because you can just avoid it with your own musou. They even got rid of musou clashes so now its very hard to get punished. It makes the game to easy. Yeah, you could just crank up the difficulty to chaos but that just hides the current games problem with a different one. Cranking up the enemy stats with steroids is a lazy way to make the game feel challenging. It just becomes into a challenge of try not to get randomly 3 shot combo into an RNG hell. Give the player the heavy choice of which officer you should target, how many troops you should clear to make your encounter easier, and they ability fight along side with your fellow officers without them feeling so useless or to dependent on the player to do most of the damage. On a side note,I understand the reason the older games pacing felt slower due to the hardware limitations of the time. It was an intentional feature to have everything slow down the player's progress. I belive that is what made the older games so replayable as common troops and officers had a major impact during battles. It felt like if you were not carful and rushed into a massive group of enemies you'd quickly be defeated due to the constant staggering of troops and the massive difference in moral between opposing generals. I always liked that if your generals had a better moral than the enemies they'd actually help you out in progressing the battle without feeling so scripted. I guess I just have a bit of nostalgia and bias towards the older games. I still have a blast with the newer games but I always keep coming back to 3, 4, and 5. There is some much replay ability with trying out different ways to beat different battles, hidden cutsceens and voice lines. Im sure no one is reading this comment but this series holds a very special place in my heart. Its just a game. But a very special game to me. I hope to see it succeed for many years to come, even if it's just a niche game. Koei, W omega force, and all its developers, if you see this, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this franchise.

[@SoraDestiny471]

Finally, the game back to the Roots. Great job KT for taking a lot of steps in the right direction. However, there is still a lot to do to make this game perfect and we deserve a perfect game after DW9 fiasco. So I'll point out to some of the aspects I believe players wanna see in DWO. I like the number of troops on screen, but I don't like how they march from one location to another like swarms of wasps with no formation or discipline, please KT return to the roots and make every 10 or 20 or 30 soldiers of the same equipment and weapons together as one unit like in DW 2 to DW5 where each unit have 5 soldiers. In ChinaJoy convention you mentioned the "nameless hero" is something like a "mercenary", mercenaries fight with their own forces. So please KT return to the roots and bring back the bodyguards of DW 2 to DW4. Since we'll not play as the Unique characters in the story mode, so please return to the roots and give us a free mode where we can play as Unique characters. The army charging is a HUGE step up, this is what we wanted and expected from a DW game, I believe all players expect to experience it in "every" stage. I hope to see a return for the ester eggs like the older DW. I hope to see a return for some of the iconic weapons from DW 2 to DW5, like Huang Gai's mase, Zhang Liao's wyvern and Gan Ning's pirate sword.

I really hope this ends up being good.. I'd love to get back into the series. I often go back to play DW3-5. I find the newer games since 6-7 just lack tension in battle, your just mowing down everyone without a thought half the time. Battles in the earlier titles had fewer enemies but were more thought out. So this game "looks" good but will it actually feel good to play... whole different story. I'm rooting for it though, it's been far to long since I dug deep into a DW game and I have that itch to do so.
